Book cover shows the author, Gustaf Sobin, at his writing desk.
And now for a new book. Just out here, although we don't actually have physical copies yet, is Gustaf Sobin's Collected Poems, all 738-pages, in both paperback and hardcover editions. In the UK we can supply from stock (once we have some, which will be next week.)

This time last year I discovered Kenny Knight and read his previous with @shearsmanbooks.bsky.social, warming to his candid realism and delightful imaginative tangents. The poetry here reflects even more on experiences of isolation, loss and constraint while escaping in glorious other worlds
โฆIt is a collection which seeks to re-construct & re-inhabit the past through the truths of imagination & fiction, as well as the storytelling of remembrance. Throughout these pages, the end is uncertain, forever in the making, & only possibly true.
Order here:

Forgetfulness, from Shearsman Books.
In its tragicomic navigation of different forms of loss, Forgetfulness moves from the allegorical to the abstract lyric, through to the surreal-absurd, & finally to a series of splintered memoriesโฆ.
Discover books as art - walking, making, thinking in pages - in a recent blog post and in a wonderful exhibition of #ArtistsBooks from the collections of the #ArtAndDesignLibrary.
The exhibition is on show Edinburgh Central Library until 28 February - don't miss it!

In taking us from the US to Scotland to Portugal, Strickland interrogates this central notion, along with ideas of non-place and environment, to explore our contemporary experience of love, language, technology, and spirituality.

Dwell Time, the full-length debut collection from award-winning poet Taylor Strickland, begins from the idea that โdwellingโ requires both place and the experience of โbeing-in-the-worldโ.
